For those of you who trailer your boat and also have a foil, what is the best way to transport the foil? The thing is so big it doesn't fit in the tow vehicle easily assembled, and I would think breaking it down would be a PITA. Is it best to strap it down in the boat? Strap it to the top of the car?

Maybe because mine is new it's just tight, but I had a heck of time getting the foil into the skyski and the bolt through it. It has a rubber seal around the board too that sticks, maybe I could put some binding slime on it.

Binding slime is just soap and water soluble. I'd recommend some silicone spray, or better yet some food-grade silicone grease.

We now have a cover, so the foil rides in the back of the truck, but we used to break it down each trip. We used a little silicone, as Bigmac suggested, and that helped. Also, getting the rubber seal wet helps.

I stand mine up in my boat (93 prostar) foil up with the cover on. I wedge it tight with the throw cushion. I live close to the water and wouldn't go down the highway this way but I've never had a problem.

If I have my back seat out I have room to lay it down, haul it in your boat as long as you have a foil cover and don't have to drive far to the lake.
